As an Upper Deck collector and AHL fan, great news. Should be a nice niche for Upper Deck if they build on this release, with sets that include patch autos, pre rookie young guns… Also need to market in AHL rinks in the future, and build on history of the league highlighting teams such as Hershey Bears, Rochester Americans…

While that logic seemed to be the same as what I thought, then again there doesn’t appear to be an autograph of every guy in the base set. Meaning getting a Martin Jones or other common auto is probably more like 1 in 7 boxes (or however long the autograph list is-don’t feel like counting).
